Programs to “encourage, inspire, and equip other introverted and Highly Sensitive People.”

(To quote Andy Mort of Sheep Dressed Like Wolves, below).

This painting is “Mindfulness” by Erika Pochybova-Johnson – a depiction, it seems to me, of the rich inner life of many creative people, especially those of us who are introverts or HSP – or both.

Create Beyond Limits

Kaitlyn Mirison writes: “Wouldn’t it be wonderful to step away from busy-ness this weekend and carve out some time to yourself? A time for you to refresh, allow yourself to fully breathe and deeply connect within…

“Well, you can! In a virtual retreat designed for you to take at your own time and pace…”

“Self-Doubts No More is a private guided retreat to gently release paralyzing self-doubts so you create as your heart is urging.

“Self-doubts create feelings of being “less-than”. And, when caught in a web of self-doubts, whether from other people’s words and actions or from your own internalized beliefs, the resounding impact is huge on your relationships, creative expression and spiritual experience.”

“One third to one half of the world’s population is introverted…There’s nothing wrong with you if you need to choose your words carefully… if you don’t like small talk, if you prefer to dive deep.” …

“In a world that favors extroversion, introverts are often left to wonder, ‘is there something wrong with me?’ This is unfortunate because introverts are awesome and we have so many valuable gifts to offer the world.” Michaela Chung

Quote on her site:

“Our culture made a virtue of living only as extroverts. We discouraged the inner journey, the quest for a center. So we lost our center and have to find it again.” ― Anaïs Nin

One of her programs: Breakthrough Sessions with introverted men : “A free Breakthrough Session to ambitious introverted men who want to achieve their goals, while also reconnecting with their inner spark. It’s a special 45-minute session that will help you to get clear on where you are and what’s holding you back. Michaela will also give you strategies to move forward.”

“I am a musician and songwriter who often struggles to get my quiet temperament working effectively towards my life’s goals and ambitions.

“I help encourage, inspire, and equip other introverted and Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) looking to find meaning and variety in their own lives. I want to assist so that they can live out their deep passion and purpose and make their unique gentle impact on a loud world that easily overwhelms them.

“If you are an introverted or Highly Sensitive Person it is quite probable that you carry with you a deep longing to feel like what you do in life matters.”

“Amongst the general public the myths tend to be regarding introversion as shyness.

“I remember going to a special event a couple of years ago and sitting next to the wife of a colleague. She asked me what I do, so I told her about my business. Her response was to say ‘but you’re not introvert, you’re talking to me‘. I felt like saying, ‘well we do talk you know!‘ But that’s a demonstration of a lot of the misunderstandings in a nut shell.

“My clients and the people I consider closer colleagues, it’s less about the myths now because a lot of that is being dispelled by people who have a lot of curiosity about this topic.

“It’s more about the stories that we make up about being an introvert.

“Even though we know it’s about energy/in and out orientation to the world there is still a tendency to make up a story around it that has to do with; ‘I’m an introvert so I’m not going to be a very good public speaker’, or ‘I’m an introvert therefore I don’t think well on my feet’, or ‘I’m not good at networking because I’m an introvert’.

“There is an intellectual understanding that has started to come forward, but there is still an emotional piece that has to follow that.”

Andy Mort adds, “This is taken from an interview I did with Beth Buelow about how to survive and thrive as an introvert in the public eye.

If you’re interested in watching the whole of our conversation then swing by and join us in the Member’s Haven where there is new and exclusive content every week to help inspire, encourage and equip us introverted and highly sensitive people live the life we want to lead.”

“You’ll identify where you’re clinging to old patterns of behavior that don’t serve you and learn simple surrender techniques to release them.

“You’ll also learn how to stop absorbing the stress or negativity of others so that you can experience vibrant well-being.

“This intensive three-lesson online course is packed with practical teachings, each 90-minute LIVE audio lesson includes specific exercises to deepen your understanding of where you’re holding back and where you can let go more in your life.”

Jenna Avery“uses her intuition, deep empathy, and innate practicality to help her visionary, creative clients step fully into their creative ideas, dreams, and ability.”

Learn about her programs including Self-Study Classes for Sensitive Souls; Life Purpose Breakthrough Sessions; Voice Your Vision Mastermind Retreat, and the Writer’s Circle at JennaAvery.com.

She says her self-study classes “are the product of my many efforts to find ways to be a happy, healthy, highly sensitive soul. I have investigated everything I could get my hands on about energy skills, energetic boundary strengthening, interpersonal boundaries, flower essences for sensitive souls, empathy, intuitive development and more.

“I wanted to find out everything I could about how to feel happy about my life without feeling so assaulted by it — other people’s energy, emotions, and criticisms, and the life stresses and challenges that go along with day-to-day life.”

Introversion and high sensitivity are different, but they can also overlap and interact, and many of us experience both personality traits to some degree, perhaps along with the mild social anxiety of shyness.

People may refer to themselves or others as “shy” because it is a convenient label, but they may really be introverted or highly sensitive – perhaps also shy.

Being Highly Sensitive and Creative

“Creatives often feel and perceive more intensely, dramatically, and with a wildly vivid color palate to draw from, which can only be described as looking at the world through a much larger lens." – Creativity Coach Lisa Riley, from excerpt from my book: Being Highly Sensitive and Creative.
